Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 200°C. Combine the mince, breadcrumbs, egg and 3 tsp of seasoning in a bowl. Roll tablespoonfuls of the mince mixture into balls. Place on a plate in fridge for 10 mins to chill.
Step 2
Place carrot on a lined baking tray. Drizzle with 1 tsp of oil. Bake, turning, for 10 mins or until tender.
Step 3
Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook meatballs, turning, for 8 mins or until brown all over and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
Step 4
Add remaining seasoning to the pan and cook for 30 secs. Add 1 cup (250ml) water and the peas. Bring to the boil. Remove from heat. Add couscous and stir to combine. Cover with foil and set aside for 5 mins to soak.
Step 5
Use a fork to separate the grains. Add carrot, beetroot, coriander and mint. Toss to combine. Spoon evenly among serving plates. Top with meatballs and dip. Serve with lemon wedges.
